Where there's life there is water We depend on mama nature There's a message for tomorrow Everythin' connects to you Some say soon it will be over You can see it in the weather Out of tune with mama nature What you do comes back to you We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone Confucius, Confucius, Sigmund Freud and Farad Muhammad Is it evolution or God? Searchin' for the truth is a threat Seems the closer we get to the truth State troopers or feds come out to silence you My house in Malibu, probably tapped 'Cause livin' next door to Demi Moore, plus I'm black Plus I want vengeance for the poor who's attacked daily Patriot Act never scared me Jake in the Taurus, sticky in the jar-s Niggas I'm with got warrants, America's brown And twenty years from now every town will be brown And Latin or African, look at Manhattan I'ma tell you what I seen with my three eyes Word to me, not a hoax, back in 9-9 A spacecraft in the skyline In L.A. in daytime, ask Horse if I'm lyin' Every mother, every father Raise your sons and your daughters With respect and with honor From the seed comes a fruit It's an unbroken circle All of life is universal And we're all in the struggle If I know, one thing is true We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone Evidence remains in debate Documents of our own Air Force base Additional terrestrial information Other planets with life population My observation, scientists study pictures of a flyin' disc Right on earth, anthropologists are findin' shit Visitors, probably live with us, they can mimic us It's sort of what we seein' in the cinemas Take a look in the mirror And see the bigger picture It's good to be alive It's good to be alive Nobody is an island We are part of an environment Only way we gon' survive Is if we harmonize We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone Reginald Lewis, the black billionaire Before Oprah or Bob Johnson, how'd he disappear?
